Chapter 323 You watch inside the house, I watch outside

"I've also made you carry this burden for three years."

This unexpected disaster befell Meng Zhi, whose family was destroyed, and broke his straight spine.

When facing Meng Zhi, Ye Xingzhou is the one who feels guilty.

Even the apology he said was dry and weak.

How can one apology erase three years of guilt?

Ye Xingzhou sighed silently.

Xiang Xiuyuan went to the corner of the yard, picked some foxtail grass, and placed it next to Ye Xingzhou.

Then he nodded to Ye Xingzhou and left the courtyard silently.

He had often seen Meng Zhi distracted before.

As soon as my mind wandered, I looked at the kitten made of dogtail grass.

Xiang Xiuyuan probably knew who created the cat.

Xiang Xiuyuan caught a glimpse of Ye Xingzhou's nimble fingertips and knitted a kitten of the same style.

Ye Xingzhou put the knitted kittens in a row.

Then, his fingers, mixed with spiritual power, poked and poked.

Finally, I managed to make a small hole in the wooden door railing.

Ye Xingzhou stuffed the kittens in one by one.

"Junior Brother."

"Speak to me."

"Brother, I haven't heard your voice for a long time."

"Senior Brother has brought a lot of food in his storage bag, as well as the family property he left for you. It's all in the storage bag."

"Junior Brother."

Ye Xingzhou kept muttering to himself while stuffing the kitten into the wooden hole.

"Junior brother, I've made you take the blame for so long. I, your brother, must take the blame and apologize."

"Then you can whip me with a whip until you lose all your energy."

It wasn't just Ye Xingzhou who closed this door.

There is also Meng Zhi who isolates himself.

His condition is very bad.

That day, Meng Zhi saw Ye Xingzhou being dragged away by the Demon Lord with his own eyes, which was very likely to have caused post-traumatic stress.

"Junior Brother."

The tenth cat squeezed in and got blocked.

Ye Xingzhou lay down and took a look.

The hole was blocked by a finger.

Ye Xingzhou put down the kitten he had just woven and extended his index finger.

Gently touching that knuckle.

The moment when the fingertips touch each other.

Body temperature transfer.

Emotions spread.

Meng Zhi originally had the fire spirit root, so her body temperature should be higher than Ye Xingzhou's.

When they touched each other at this moment, they felt extremely cold.

Instantly separate.

Ye Xingzhou lowered his eyes.

"Junior Brother."

"Don't be like that."

"Don't hate me."

How can it be annoying?

Yes, the longer you stay, the more you can’t leave.

The other side of the wooden door.

Meng Zhi leaned against the door and squatted there.

He stared blankly at his fingertips.

At his feet, there was a row of kittens made of dogtail grass.

The warmth lingering on his fingertips made Meng Zhi unable to recover for a moment.

Obviously.

We decided not to meet again.

Why, I still can't help it.

Want to feel the other person's body temperature.

I even wavered in the idea of ​​going out.

Meng Zhi buried his head between his knees.

Never see each other again.

He can't.

We can’t let Ye Xingzhou fall into danger again.

But why does my heart feel so tight when I make this decision?

My nose feels very sore.

Almost the moment Meng Zhi looked up, blood from his nose dripped onto the back of his hand like beads.

I wiped it again and again, and the back of my hand was stained red, but I couldn't stop it.

There was another knock on the door.

This time, the knocking was rapid.

"Junior brother, are you okay?"

Ye Xingzhou smelled blood.

Meng Zhi pinched his fingers and cleaned up the blood.

As if afraid that Ye Xingzhou would break in, this time Meng Zhi bent his index finger and gently knocked on the door frame.

Facing Ye Xingzhou.

He couldn't open his mouth or speak.

The only response was to knock on the doorframe.

Now he is like a coward hiding in his shell.

There was suddenly no movement outside the door.

Yes, you left.

Meng Zhi couldn't help but open his spiritual sense.

The spiritual sense sensed that Ye Xingzhou was still outside the door.

Suddenly, a piece of paper was stuffed into the small hole.

There were some familiar words on the note.

"Junior brother, if you want, you can write and communicate with me."

Meng Zhi twisted the note.

After a while, he wrote a few words.

The moment Ye Xingzhou spread out his hands, he let out an almost inaudible sigh.

Meng Zhi replied with three words.

〈Don't meet each other.〉

Can't let it go.

How can I let it go?

"Junior brother, don't be like this."

Ye Xingzhou leaned his head back and rested it against the door frame.

After much difficulty, Meng Zhi opened her heart, but now it is closed again.

Not only was it closed, but it was also locked twice.

It doesn’t matter, Ye Xingzhou will find another secluded path to drill the cave.

"Junior brother, do you hate me?"

"That's right. I made you take the blame for three years. How could you possibly forgive me?"

After a while, Ye Xingzhou finished speaking.

A piece of paper stuck out from the gap.

"Ye Xingzhou, don't come near me anymore."

Meng Zhi felt ashamed.

I feel guilty towards Ye Xingzhou for causing him to escape death.

I feel guilty towards Ren Wangzhu for causing him to lose his senior brother who had been with him for three years.

I feel guilty towards Xiang Xiuyuan, as he has made him feel caught in a dilemma.

He was so pressed that he could hardly breathe.

I want to give up, but I don't want to.

I want to leave, but I hesitate.

He was trapped in that rain of black butterflies.

Year after year.

The one who couldn't let it go the most was himself.

It’s Meng Zhi, I can’t let Meng Zhi go.

Ye Xingzhou burned the note.

"Junior brother, I didn't see the note."

"If you don't reply, I'll take it as you don't hate me anymore."

Ye Xingzhou looked up.

The sky is still blue.

Occasionally, cranes fly through the area.

Ye Xingzhou put his fingers into the gap to prevent Meng Zhi from passing the note again.

"Junior Brother."

"How about we lie on the eaves and look at the stars together at night?"

"Just like last time on the deck."

"If you agree, just touch my fingertips gently."

"If you agree, just touch it twice."

"If you don't touch it, it will be considered as your consent."

Among Ye Xingzhou's options, agree or agree, and refuse is the same as not refuse.

The note written by Meng Zhi could not be passed on.

He looked up at the eaves.

The eaves blocked the blue sky.

Blocked the sunlight.

Blocking out the outside world.

Ye Xingzhou opened a crack in the window.

As long as Meng Zhi walked over and pushed it away.

It's spring and flowers are blooming.

but.

He didn't even have the courage to stand up.

Meng Zhi lowered his head.

The sound of scratching the wooden board came again.

He glanced down.

Ye Xingzhou dug another hole two inches away from him.

This time the hole is bigger.

Ye Xingzhou could fit his entire palm in.

A fair palm reached in, the slender knuckles stretched out, and the fingertips had a faint pink color.

"Junior Brother."

"Don't be afraid."

"I'm back."

"If you feel bad, just hold my hand."

Meng Zhi picked up the woven cat scattered on the ground and wanted to put it back in Ye Xingzhou's hand.

The finishing touch is just around the corner, but it just won’t work.

Meng Zhi looked at the hand.

He looked down at his calloused palms.

Uncontrollably, tentatively, cautiously approaching inch by inch.

His body is helping him make decisions.

Make the decision Meng Zhi wants.

The process is long, tedious and boring.

During this period, Ye Xingzhou can withdraw his hand at any time and regret his decision at any time.

But Ye Xingzhou did not, still maintaining his original posture, spreading his hands and waiting.

Wait for the other party to approach.

When the distance is only an inch.

Meng Zhi froze and no longer had the courage to fall.

Fortunately.

Ye Xingzhou held his hand back.

Firm and powerful.

It's like a clear sound blooming in your ears.

"Junior Brother."

"It's okay if you don't want to see me. I'll remove a few tiles from the roof tonight."

"You watch from inside the house, and I watch from outside."
